The M235i’s 3.0-liter turbo I-6 will still make an impressive 320 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque, however, the coupe’s eight-speed automatic will now route that power to all four wheels instead of just the rear ones. BMW says that will get the M235i to go from 0-62 mph in 4.6 seconds, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it got there quicker since the German automaker’s estimates are usually modest. For reference, we clocked a rear-drive M235i at 4.4 seconds in 0-60 mph testing. For those that like to feel the wind through their hair, xDrive will also be available on the upcoming 2 Series Convertible, however, it’s unknown whether the 228i will also follow in the model’s xDrive footsteps any time soon.

BMW has confirmed the xDrive-fitted vehicles will arrive in Europe starting this July, however, we’re still waiting on official word whether we’ll also get them. While the new arrival will certainly make for a much hotter summer, the all-wheel drive will also add some fun to the cold weather season when the snow begins to fall. The 2014 M235i currently starts at $44,025, so expect xDrive to cost about $2000 more.
